What is Switchcars?
In this single-player, side-scrolling action roguelite, you flee interdimensional time-whales after a teleportation experiment goes wrong. During roughly ten-minute runs through procedurally arranged environments, you store up to three vehicles, replace those damaged or out of fuel, and cross rifts to advance from 1950 toward 2055.
